Microsoft has this week unveiled a new addition to their range of controllers in the form of a limited edition inflatable Xbox One controller. This quirky and fun accessory is perfect for your pool but, as Microsoft humorously points out, it is unfortunately not compatible with your Xbox console.
The limited edition inflatable Xbox One controller is available to win in Australia and has been created by the same think tank that dreamt up last year’s Xbox One onesie suit. This innovative team continues to push the boundaries of what Xbox merchandise can be, blending functionality with a touch of whimsy.
Unique Features and Design
The inflatable Xbox One controller is designed to be a full-sized replica of the actual Xbox One controller, complete with all the buttons and joysticks you would expect. However, instead of being made from plastic and electronics, it is constructed from durable, waterproof materials that make it ideal for poolside fun. The attention to detail in the design ensures that it looks just like the real thing, making it a great conversation starter at any summer gathering.
This limited edition item is not just a novelty; it also serves a practical purpose. With its large size and buoyant nature, it can be used as a floatation device, adding an extra layer of fun to your pool activities. Imagine lounging on your inflatable Xbox controller while sipping a cold drink and enjoying the sun – it’s the perfect way to combine your love for gaming with summer relaxation.
Availability and How to Win
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet by Microsoft. The inflatable Xbox One controller is currently available only through a special promotion in Australia. To win one of these limited edition items, participants need to enter a contest hosted by Xbox Australia. The contest details can be found on their official Twitter page, where they regularly post updates and additional information.

The promotion is a clever marketing strategy by Microsoft to engage with their Australian audience, especially during the hot summer months when people are looking for ways to cool off and have fun. By offering a unique and exclusive item, Microsoft is able to generate buzz and excitement around their brand, even among those who may not be avid gamers.
As soon as more information comes to light regarding pricing and potential worldwide availability, we will keep you updated as always. In the meantime, if you’re in Australia, don’t miss your chance to enter the contest and potentially win this one-of-a-kind Xbox accessory.
